Since I last wrote, we have finally finished relocating the fiction and non-fiction books to their more permanent location. The shelving units are now easily accessible for all, and with the removal of the centre shelves, the library has a more open look. We have gained two new display units, one for magazines and picture books, while the other is used to display newly purchased books. The new coloured tables have given the library a fresh look with a flexible layout. I will try and add some new photos in the next posting.
The Library has also been hosting meetings during the last couple of weeks. The Reading Program that is held in the library a few mornings per week, held their Thankyou Morning Tea for the volunteers and student presentations. Also, Year 10 Exams (Special Provisions) were held here for a few days.
Year 12 Farewell Assembly, Graduation Mass and Presentation were held on 28th & 29th Sept, so we have been busy video recording these special events. Also, we have replaced the video shelving units with wall shelving and have relocated some of video collection onto this. This has given us more floor space while freeing up more space in the AV room.
Commencing Term 4, we will be introducing a new booking system for equipment, library space and resources. “Clickview” will be available from the staff room computers, as well as the library front desk. Staff members will now need to use Clickview in order to book laptop trolley’s, text books, data projectors, TV’s, DVD/Video players, overhead projectors, and any other resources that requires prior booking. It is a relatively easy program to use, so hopefully there won’t be too many problems with its introduction.
We are all looking forward to the two week school break. Enjoy all.

Here is a Voki that I have created as a novelty idea for the library.
